Counteranions reshape molecular packing to tune magnetism in copper complexes
Magnetic properties in molecular materials depend not only on the molecular components themselves but also on their solid-state organization. In charged π-elect...
Learning to speak elephant: Choruses of rumbles help groups coordinate
Choruses of African elephant rumbles appear to become more similar in certain situations, including reuniting or coordinating what to do next. Now, new research...
Camelina genome analysis reveals how wild relatives could expand crop breeding options
Camelina is a relatively new oilseed gaining interest for its potential use in food, livestock feed and renewable fuel markets. A newly published research paper...
Ions help electrons hop through porous material with potential for brain-inspired computing
Next-generation computing technologies could be one step closer to emulating how neurons respond and communicate with each other, thanks to research examining h...
Five new species of freshwater mussels in southern US uncovered by researchers
A new research paper published in Zootaxa describes five new species of freshwater mussels in the southern U.S., providing the scientific foundation for protect...
Bridging generations: Early findings suggest shared spaces may benefit both children and nursing home residents
It was the first day of school, and the kids at the Logan Intergenerational Family Education Center were not going to wait a second longer. Normally, the hordes...
Mining fragmented microbial DNA identifies candidates for anticancer testing
Researchers have developed a practical strategy for recovering biosynthetic information from fragmented metagenomic data. Through this work, the researchers ide...
Small protein helps amplify cell signals from receptors targeted by many medicines
A small protein known as p11 may play a much broader role in cellular signaling than previously thought. Researchers at Karolinska institutet have now shown tha...
Where the waters meet: Connecting global limits and river basin management
Human activity and climate change are putting growing pressure on water resources, disrupting the predictability of the water cycle and changing the availabilit...
Webb provides crash course on planet-shattering collisions
In the early history of our solar system, scientists theorize that a Mars-sized object called Theia smashed into the infant Earth, vaporizing massive amounts of...
New method generates nearly indistinguishable photons for quantum communication
Working in close collaboration, researchers from Paderborn University, the University of Basel and Ruhr University Bochum have made a breakthrough in quantum co...
Artisans turn old São Paulo subway construction uniforms into backpacks
Corporate uniforms, advertising banners and industrial technical fabrics almost always end up in landfills at the end of their "life cycles," even when they are...
